Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{8}{15} a^2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given curve is \(a y^2=x^2(a-x),(a > 0)\) The required area \(\begin{aligned} & =2 \int_0^a x \sqrt{\frac{a-x}{a}} d x \\ & =\frac{2}{\sqrt{a}} \int_0^a x \sqrt{a-x} d x \end{aligned}\) Put \(a-x=t^2\), at \(x=0, t=\sqrt{a}\) and , at \(x=a, t=0\) and \(-d x=2 t d t\) So,…
